Parent
and advocacy groups have joined together in a coalition to organize
a rally at the Senate in Washington DC on June 17, 2003.

The
US House of Representatives stripped the rights of students with disabilities
when they amended IDEA!

The
House assaults on IDEA would segregate students with disabilities,
punish them for their disabilities, and remove accountability for
a Free and Appropriate Public Education!

Thousands
of letters were sent and phone calls made. They were ignored! Dont
let the Senate do the same. Lets tell Senators that civil rights
must be enforced, not taken away. Lets show them the faces of
parents and students who depend on IDEA!
